AUTONOMOUS CLEANER
First Claim
1. A robot cleaner comprising:
- a cleaner body;
a suction inlet to suction air containing foreign substances into the cleaner body; and
a dust container docked to the cleaner body, the dust container collecting foreign substances filtered from the air introduced into the cleaner body,wherein the dust container includes;
an external case including at least one cyclone filtering foreign substances in air introduced into the dust container;
an upper case coupled to an upper portion of the external case, the upper case including an upper opening corresponding to a discharge space into which filtered air from the cyclone is discharged;
an upper cover detachably coupled to the upper case to open/close the upper opening; and
a filter mounted on a rear surface of the upper cover, the filter covering the discharged space when the upper cover is coupled to the upper case and further filtering the air exiting from the cyclone.

13. A robot cleaner comprising:
-
a cleaner body having a plurality of wheels and a controller controlling driving of at least one of the wheels; and a dust container coupled to the cleaner body, the dust container being removable from the cleaner body, wherein the dust container includes; an entrance and an exit, which are provided side by side, along the outer circumference of the dust container; a flow separating guide extending in a spiral shape along an inner circumferential surface of the dust container to separate the flow of air introduced into the entrance from the flow of air discharged toward the exit; at least one cyclone provided below the flow separating guide to filter foreign substances in the air introduced into the dust container; and a filter over the cyclone to filter dust in air flowing out of the cyclone. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
